VISTA AT A GLANCE THE PROFESSIONAL CHOICE 59
BLADE DVR
BLADE FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Real-time recoding for all cameras All Vista Blade DVRs are capable of recording a full 25 images per second for each camera.
The platforms within the range offer 3-performance levels.
MPEG-4 compression with 9 quality
settings
Offering very efficient compression, MPEG-4 delivers excellent video quality whilst requiring
relatively low bandwidth and therefore HDD storage space.
Total flexability By providing a codec for each camera input, Vista Blade DVR’s give total flexability, allowing
any camera to be set to any compression level, in any quality at any image rate per second,
meaning the DVR can be fine tuned to suit any site requirement.
16, 8 and 4 analogue with either 2 or 4 IP
camera inputs
Offering the ‘best of both worlds’ allows system design to take advantage of both
analogue and IP cameras and existing or new infrastructures. IP camera input also allows
for future expansion requirements.
3TB internal storage Up to 4 internal drives allow 160GB to 3TB of internal storage maximising record duration without
compromising resolution or image capture rates.
HDD cooling tunnels and temperature
warning
Maintaining low temperatures is extremely important for the reliability and performance of all
HDDs. Vista Blade incorporates purpose designed HDD cooling tunnels and heat sensors which
will alarm if temperatures rise above recommended operating levels.
Powerful macros Developed further from Vista’s highly popular and successful Triplex Columbus range, macros
allow complex operator actions to be ‘learnt’ and triggered via keyboard or alarm
inputs.
Detailed camera scheduling Individual camera record speeds, quality settings, alarm events and macros can be set for different
times during weekdays and weekends, optimising recording duration and event management.
Network capability Live and recorded video can be viewed over a network with control of multiple DVRs from multiple
locations with MPEG-4, minimising bandwidth requirement. All features and operational control
including viewing live with PTZ camera control and recorded data can be accessed and viewed
over a network using an internet browser or the supplied viewer software.
Multi-protocol RS485 and UTC/FSK
telemetry
A large choice of built-in RS485 telemetry protocols enable a wide range of dome and PTZ
cameras to be selected. Vista & BBV’s coaxial FSK telemetry allows fully functional domes to be
added to a system without the need to re-cable or run a dedicated twisted pair.
Front panel LEDs Show connected cameras, individual alarms and system status.
Dual digital composite monitors Both A&B monitor outputs support multi-screen display with full text (quad display monitor B).
